To solve the equation \( f(x) = -1 \) using the graph provided, we need to find the value of \( x \) where the function \( f(x) \) (represented by the blue curve) intersects the line \( y = -1 \).

Looking at the graph:

1. The curve \( f(x) \) (blue) crosses the horizontal line at \( y = -1 \) at a certain point on the x-axis.
2. From the graph, this intersection appears to occur between \( x = 2 \) and \( x = 4 \), closer to \( x = 4 \).

Thus, the approximate solution to \( f(x) = -1 \) is \( x \approx 3.2 \) or slightly higher, but we can round it based on the grid.

### Would you like any further details or have any questions?

Here are five additional questions related to this problem:

1. What are the \( x \)-coordinates where \( f(x) \) intersects \( g(x) \)?
2. What is the maximum value of \( f(x) \) and at what \( x \)-value does it occur?
3. What is the solution to \( g(x) = 2 \)?
4. How many times does the curve \( g(x) \) intersect the x-axis, and what are the coordinates?
5. What is the slope of the tangent to the curve \( f(x) \) at \( x = 0 \)?

**Tip:** When solving graph-related problems, carefully observe where the function crosses specific y-values to accurately determine the corresponding x-values.

Find the solution to the equation f(x) = -1 by analyzing the graph of the function f(x). This problem demonstrates the use of graphical methods to determine where a function intersects a specific y-value. Suitable for students in Grades 8-10.
